2 www.standrews.ca Many milestones, many moments during first year By Dea. Richard Manley-Tannis Principal, St. Andrew’s College

I am grateful to continue our new conversation together through Contact. My year of firsts is coming to an end: what a year it has been! From the gift of gathering with those who steward and nur- ture the College, to times with faculty as they imaginatively and passionately prepare and nurture leadership for the church and the world, to convocations, trusted conversations with students and those discerning what Call might mean and look like in their lives, it has been a blessed time in the midst of life’s inevitable unfolding. I am not sure there is any one milestone I would offer, but here are two that occur to me as I write to you. They are both connected with the May gathering of Academic and Finance committees and Board of Regents meetings, all culminating in the excitement that is convocation!

On the evening of May 1, St. An- drew’s College celebrated the instal- lation of a Treaty Medal Plaque in the College. The College sits on Treaty 6 territory. The Treaty Medal Plaque is a large replica of the medal presented to par- ticipating chiefs when the treaty was signed. It has been mounted with an accompanying statement in the hall out- side the chapel. Installing the plaque is part of our work towards reconciliation. It is a reminder of our treaty obligations and of our Indigenous neighbours who agreed to share the land with settlers.

Like many Designated Lay Ministry (DLM) students before and those who will come after, I entered my first circle with some trepidation and fear — fear of the unknown. When I felt my call to ministry I had no idea what the DLM program was all about. One thing I did know was that at my age, with no previous college or university experience and for personal reasons, I had no interest in sitting in a lecture hall or at a desk in a classroom for years going through the ordination stream. Nor did I think Diaconal Ministry was the way to go. As I walked through the doors of St. Andrew’s College and down the steps to the meeting space where the Learning Circles take place I could feel my heart racing and butterflies in my stomach. When I saw the chairs placed around in a circle and saw all the faces looking up at me as I descended the steps I wondered, as an introvert, how I would manage in such an intimate atmosphere. Some of my fears were relieved when I was greeted by each and every one of the students and leaders, some with hugs, others with handshakes, but all with smiles on their faces.

We are excited to invite St. Andrew’s College alumni/ae to join a new closed Facebook group. We hope this can be a place where alum and the College can share with one another what’s been happening in life’s unfolding since we had the gift to learn together. Search Facebook for: St. Andrews Alum www.standrews.ca 13 The Legacy Gift Campaign for St. Andrew’s College We’re building for the future . . . where there’s a will there’s a way! Legacy gifts to St. Andrew’s are an opportunity to extend and enhance both the present and future mission of the College in preparing Christian leaders for Church and community. Legacy gifts are a powerful statement of gratitude for gifts we have received over a lifetime. Legacy giving, sometimes called planned giving, provides gifts from end of life accumulated assets rather than from current income. Most often legacy gifts are provided through wills and bequests but may also involve charitable gift annuities, assignment of life insurance, or transfer of property such as cash, stock, bonds and real estate. We invite you to consider planning a legacy gift for St. Andrew’s College.

For information about planning a legacy Have you already included St. Andrew’s gift for St. Andrew’s College we invite you in your legacy giving? If so we thank you to contact our Legacy Gift Officer, Mr. Tom very much and ask if you would have your Cameron. name(s) added to our Legacy Gift Society?

Catherine Christie, who is retired from being the United Church’s overseas personal in Korea, visited St. Andrew’s College in March. She attended chapel and then made a presentation in the Main Lounge over lunch. The occasion of her visit was to donate a copy of the book Growing Together Into One Hope to the Col- lege’s library. The book is an English translation of a book written to mark the anniversary of the mission partnership. Catherine gave an informative talk about the history the book celebrates. In addition, she also donated a number of other books on church work in Korea and India. All this is especially welcome in light of our connection to HanShin School of Religion in Seoul, Korea.
